From time to time, the guards would glance at them from time to time.
Tang Yi and Tang Susu waited quietly. They did not dare to wander around. They just felt that this place was a little strange. It was the residence of Wei Country's eldest princess, but they did not see a single flower along the way. It did not look like a woman's home …
Inside the bright and spacious pavilion, a graceful woman dressed as a man sat behind a table. She was talking to a few officials who were kneeling before her. She was the Minister of Wei Country, Xuan Wei.
A man with shoulder-length hair stood under a large pillar. He was dressed in a grey robe and carried an ancient broadsword on his back. He was waiting quietly by the side. He was Xuan Wei's personal Sorcerer, the number one expert on the Alchemy List, Ximen Qing Kong.
The woman entered the pavilion from the back door and walked out from the side corridor. She walked to the large pillar and whispered something into Ximen Qing Kong's ear. Ximen Qing Kong nodded slightly and signaled her to wait. The woman retreated to the side and waited.
After the officials left, Xuan Wei, who was kneeling in front of the table, reached out and took out a document. Just as she was about to open it, Ximen Qing Kong, who was standing under the pillar, said, "Tang Yi is here."
Xuan Wei nodded and put down the document in her hand. She stood up and walked over. "That's fast."
The woman replied, "Tang Yi led a small group of people and arrived here without stopping. The rest of the Shanghai Sect are still on their way."
Xuan Wei asked, "Is Niu Youdao still in the Wan Shou Sect?"
Ever since she received the news from Yuan Gang, asking them to take over the Shanghai Sect, she had ordered the people of the Mist Manor to keep an eye on Niu Youdao.
She was not stupid. The Shanghai Sect was related to Niu Youdao, not Yuan Gang. And the leader of the Shanghai Sect, Tang Yi, was Niu Youdao's wife. Yuan Gang was just a follower of Niu Youdao. It would be strange if this was not Niu Youdao's order. Could a follower make such a big decision?
Between smart people, there were some things that didn't need to be said so clearly. Niu Youdao knew this, and she also knew that by taking in the Shang Qing Sect, Niu Youdao would owe her a favor.
The Mist Manor was a mysterious place hidden in the clouds. It was similar to the Yan Country's Spy Bureau and the Qi Country's School Affairs Station. In other words, it was a country's spy organization.
As soon as Xuan Wei gave the order, the most powerful spy organization in Wei immediately took action.
As for that woman, her name was Jiang Shiji. She didn't look very attractive, but she was actually the Head Commander of Mist Manor. For her to personally receive Tang Yi, it indirectly showed how much importance Xuan Wei placed on Niu Youdao.
Jiang Shiji said, "He has left the Wan Shou Sect and went to the Northern State on two black jade condors with the leader of the Great Zen Mountain, Huang Lie. I don't know what he is doing, but something is wrong in the Northern State. Before Niu Youdao arrived, the people of the Great Zen Mountain killed several of Shao Dengyun's subordinates. At the same time, the Northern State is searching for the students that Shao Pingbo founded. Some of the students that were sent to various places in the Northern State to gain experience suddenly disappeared. Also, Shao Pingbo hasn't shown up for a while. "
Xuan Wei was confused, "Did the Great Zen Mountain and the Shao Family have a conflict?"
Jiang Shiji said, "Kind of? I don't know the details. The news is blocked. It is because of this that it is more likely. There are rumors that Niu Youdao and Shao Pingbo have a grudge, but I don't know what it is. "
Outsiders indeed didn't know the grudge between Niu Youdao and Shao Pingbo. Most importantly, there were some things that both sides didn't dare let outsiders know.
Xuan Wei paced back and forth. "Niu Youdao and Huang Lie went to the Northern State together, killed Shao Dengyun's subordinates, and captured Shao Pingbo's students. If there is really a grudge between the two, then Niu Youdao's people appearing in Shao Pingbo's nest is enough to prove that there is a problem. Shao Pingbo must have suffered a loss. This Shao Pingbo is not simple. All the signs show that the independence of the Northern State is very likely because of him. After that, the Northern State fought against the Han Empire and the Southern State defended against the Yan Empire. The Northern State's development process is even more shocking. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is a rare genius. "
Jiang Shiji said, "I've already ordered to pay attention to Shao Pingbo. Any news about him will be reported immediately."
Xuan Wei said, "This kind of person grows up in storms and is not someone that anyone can take down. He actually suffered a loss in the hands of Niu Youdao. This Niu Youdao is really getting more and more interesting. Either he doesn't show himself, making it hard for people to track him down, or once he shows himself, he will cause trouble. Come, let's go take a look at Madam Niu, who has caused Niu Youdao so much worry. "She waved her sleeves and led the two out of the pavilion through the back door.
In the waterside pavilion, Tang Yi and Tang Susu turned around at the same time and looked at the three people walking over from the end of the corridor.
The two of them had seen the woman before, but the man with long hair and a sword on his back in plain clothes caused their pupils to shrink. He matched the image of the person in the rumors, the number one expert on the Pill List, Ximen Qingkong!
The two of them immediately stared at the woman in the lead, who was dressed in a long black gown with a full chest. Even a woman dressed as a man could not hide her graceful bearing. She could also make Ximen Qingkong her follower, so they didn't need to guess to know who she was.
"My husband has arrived." When the three of them arrived, Jiang Shiji introduced them.
The two of them immediately greeted, "Greetings, my husband."
"No need to be so polite." Xuan Wei raised her hand and looked at Tang Yi from head to toe. She praised, "Sect Leader Tang is really beautiful. I don't know if it's better to call you Sect Leader Tang or Madam Niu?"
Tang Yi was slightly stunned, but she immediately calmed down and said, "I have nothing to do with Niu Youdao."
Xuan Wei laughed, "Why do you say that?"
Tang Yi hesitated for a moment. "I have already divorced Niu Youdao, and the divorce letter has already been given to Niu Youdao. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. In a few days, this matter will be announced to the cultivation world. This matter needs to be made clear to my husband. " In other words, if you think that I have nothing to do with Niu Youdao and are unwilling to take me in, I have no complaints here.
The three of them looked at each other. Xuan Wei tried to ask, "You divorced Niu Youdao, not Niu Youdao divorced you?"
Usually, it was men who divorced women. It was rare for a woman to divorce a man.
"That's right."
"Why?"
Tang Susu interrupted, "Niu Youdao and Qi Jing's matchmaker had an ambiguous relationship and were unwilling to break it off. Sect Leader couldn't stand it, so he divorced them."
Xuan Wei did not comment further, but there were still some things that she had to clarify. She also needed to see how the Shangqing Sect's attitude was before deciding on what to do …
In the bamboo forest of Fufang Garden, Dugu Jing followed Yu Cang, who was strolling leisurely, and informed him of Shao Pingbo's situation.
Shao Pingbo had already arrived in Qi Jing. The Shangqing Sect had already sent someone to inquire about the situation. Shao Pingbo told them frankly that he was framed by Niu Youdao.
He had no choice but to tell them the truth. He had already escaped from the Northern State. Some things couldn't be hidden. Outsiders would know sooner or later.
"I see. An outstanding person was actually forced to become a stray dog by Niu Youdao. If he escapes, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to the Northern State. Did the Great Zen Mountain take the wrong medicine? What's in it for them to destroy the Shao enterprise? " Yu Cang sighed and was a little angry. He had his own purpose in managing his relationship with Shao Pingbo. It was natural for him to be annoyed that it was ruined. He asked again, "Isn't he the one who controls the situation in Qi Jing? What do you mean by no explanation?"
Dugu Jing said, "He's talking about Princess Ying, his sister. He said he can use his sister to pry open the situation in Qi Jing. He has already gone to Prince Ying's Mansion."
Yu Cang frowned, "What can Prince Ying do?"
Dugu Jing shook her head, indicating that she didn't know. "I'm afraid Niu Youdao won't let him go. If he insists on asking for Prince Ying, should we give it to him?"
Yu Cang said, "Don't bother. Just play along and make him feel helpless. We still have to wait and see what happens in the Northern State. If Shao Dengyun doesn't fall, Shao Pingbo might have a chance to make a comeback. If he really can't go back, think of a way to recruit this guy. This guy is a rare talent and can do great things. I won't trade him no matter how much money Niu Youdao gives me. "
…
In front of the gate of Prince Ying's Mansion, Shao Liuer was dressed luxuriously and looked like a noblewoman. She personally saw Shao Pingbo out of the gate.
"Wait!" Shao Pingbo turned around and gestured.
"Brother, take care." Shao Liuer half-squatted and bowed. She was gentle and quiet. Her temperament was different from before.
Shao Pingbo turned around and left with a smile. A group of cultivators escorted him to the guest hall.
He came here to seek refuge and also to seek protection. He was afraid that Niu Youdao would continue to pursue him, and he was also guarding against Waning Moon Pavilion.
He knew very well what kind of trash Waning Moon Pavilion was. After using Waning Moon Pavilion to escape, he immediately decided to cut off direct contact with them. He would never let himself fall into Waning Moon Pavilion's control. Therefore, he asked Prince Ying Haozhen for protection from the disciples of the three major sects of Qi.
On this piece of land, there were disciples of the Heavenly Fire Order, the Profound Weapon Sect, and the Great Hill Sect to protect him. Neither Niu Youdao nor Waning Moon Pavilion dared to touch him.
Of course, he would not mention Waning Moon Pavilion to Haozhen. He only said that he was being pursued by Niu Youdao.
Shao Liuer stood on the steps and watched him leave. She looked calm.
In the hall of the mansion, Haozhen stood there with his eyes lowered. His hands were hidden in his sleeves in front of his abdomen.
Chief eunuch Mu Jiu stood beside him. Gao Jianhou of the Heavenly Fire Order, Che Buchi of the Great Hill Sect, and Xie Longfei of the Profound Weapon Sect also approached Haozhen.
Gao Jianhou said, "His intention is very obvious. He wants to rely on the Prince."
Haozhen said, "My brother-in-law is not an ordinary person. He is definitely a capable man. I didn't expect him to be forced to this state by Niu Youdao. There were no signs in Bei Zhou beforehand. I wonder how my father-in-law is doing now."
The few of them understood his worries. The reason why he married Shao Liuer was firstly because he could not disobey the Emperor's order. Secondly, he fancied Shao Liuer's family background. The Shao family had the ability to influence the situation of Yan and Korea. To a certain extent, it could also increase his weight in Haoyun Tu's heart. It could be considered as his external support. If the Shao family collapsed, he would lose this support.
Mu Jiu said, "Prince, now that things have come to this, I'm afraid Niu Youdao will find it hard to stop!"
